A user, SherriM, reported a thread appearing in email but not in Discourse, with the subject “[Canadian Paediatric Society] [PM] Peer Review Survey Link”. The “[PM]” was unknown to her. david explained that “[PM]” stands for “Personal Message”, which means the topic is only visible to the included recipients.
SherriM asked how to send a Personal Message, wondering how someone managed to do it instead of posting a topic under a group heading. david replied that Personal Messages can be sent by clicking the ‘message’ button on someone’s user card, and provided a screenshot as an example. He also mentioned that an admin can disable Personal Messages on the site by disabling the “enable personal messages” site setting.
We launched to our membership yesterday. We’re synched with our membership database so that member are given permissions to the discussion groups for the sections they belong to…
It went well but there is one thread that is appearing in email but is nowhere in Discourse and it doesn’t appear like the user sent it from the section they belong to. It comes from- [Canadian Paediatric Society] [PM] Peer Review Survey Link - and I don’t know what the [PM] is.
Any advice?
PM means “Personal Message”, so the topic is only visible to the people that were included in the message.
Aha. thank you. How do you send a “Personal Message” - just wondering how she managed to it that way instead of a topic under group heading?
